Speaker 1 (00:11):
I'm Darren Marler, and this is weird dark news. A
city member of Congress has made finding aliens their cornerstone
of her fourth term, bed raising millions of promises to
expose what the government knows about UFOs. Most politicians running
for Congress talk about healthcare or the economy. Republic and
Congresswoman Lauren Bolbert from Colorado build her twenty twenty six

(00:35):
campaign under underwater alien bases and government conspiracies about hybrid
human extraterrestrial DNA experiments on October seventh, twenty twenty five.
Earlier this month, Bobart sent out a campaign fundraising email.
No mention of inflation, border security, or traditional political issues,
just one question, are aliens real? The email went straight

(00:58):
for it, saying for decade aids, our government has shrouded
the truth about UFOs and a veil of secrecy. Strange
crafts have been spotted soaring through our skies, defying the
laws of physics, and yet the bureaucrats in Washington act
like we're too naive to handle the facts. They tell
us we're crazy, like we can't see these things flying
through the air with our own eyes. I say enough
is enough. The American people aren't children to be spoon

(01:21):
fed half truths or dismissed with vague excuses. We deserve
to know the truth. What's really going on up there.
The email then linked to a website asking the same
question and requesting campaign donations. Her campaign confirmed that yeah,
it was real, and said that it was performing extremely
well with donors. The timing raises some eyebrows. The federal

(01:43):
government's been shut down since October one as of this recording,
after Senate Democrats refused to ratify a Republican backed funding
bill demanding concessions on healthcare and spending. Democratic political analyst
Andy Boyan called the email almost to cry for help.
In an interview with Colorado news station KDVR, he figured
Bobert should focus on reopening the government instead of chasing UFOs.

(02:07):
Boyan told KDVR that ourlandish campaign ads usually meet a
candidate desperately needs money or voter support, neither of which
I'm seeing right now. He predicted, she might raise a
few thousand dollars, but she's also going to get a
lot of really weird looks. Bobert's campaign brushed off the criticism.
They maintain people do want these answers. This wasn't Bobert's

(02:28):
first dive into UFO territory. She made headlines at a
congressional hearing about Unidentified Anomalous Phenomena in November of last year.
The House Oversight Committee hearing featured four experts pushing for
government transparency about UFO sightings. The panel included a retired
Navy rear admiral, a former Defense Department official, a former
NASA official, and a journalist. Bobert opened with her usual flare.

(02:52):
I find myself on many lists, she said, I speak
my mind often, so why not just keep going with it?
May as well just go all out and say it.
The Earth is flat, birds are government drones, and we
have never set foot on the moon, and Joe Biden
received eighty one million votes in the twenty twenty election,
obviously joking. Then she got to her actual questions. There

(03:12):
are rumors that have come up to the hill of
a secretive project within the Department of Defense involving the
manipulation of human genetics with what is described as non
human genetic material, potentially for the enhancement of human capabilities hybrids.
Are any of you familiar with that? Yes or no?
All four experts said no. Bilbert moved on. She pointed

(03:33):
out that humans have only studied about five percent of
the ocean. She asked, are there any accounts of UAPs
emerging from or submerging into our waters which could indicate
a base or presence beneath the ocean's surface? Are there
any technological capabilities that have been observed in these oceanic
UAPs to defy our current understanding of physics or human
engineering capabilities. Michael Schellenberger, a journalist who founded the new

(03:56):
site Public and has reported on alleged Pentagon UFO program ms,
said that he had never heard of an underwater alien base,
but he did mention hearing from a source about an
ORB coming out of the ocean and being met by
another ORB. Bobert left without her answers, but promised, I
will not relent until we get those answers to the
American people. Schellenberger testified about his reporting on a supposed

(04:19):
Pentagon program called Immaculate Constellation. According to a whistleblower report,
the Pentagon created this program in twenty seventeen after The
New York Times exposed another UFO investigation effort called the
Advanced Aerospace Threat Identification Program or a TIP. The whistleblower
claimed Maculate Constellation collects and hides information on UFO sightings,

(04:40):
high quality images, sensor data the works. Schellenberger told the
committee the military and intelligence community are sitting on a
huge amount of visual and other information still photos, video,
other sensor information, and they have for a very long time.
And it's not those fuzzy photos and videos that we've
been given. There is very clear high rests solution files.

(05:02):
The whistleblower report described incidents that read like science fiction.
In one case, a group of orbs surrounded an F
twenty two fighter jet and forced it out of its
patrol area. In another, an aircraft carrier crew spotted an
orange red sphere descending from high altitude. Afterward, they described
feeling uneasy, like they had snapped out of a trance.

(05:22):
The Pentagon denied everything. Department of Defense spokesperson Sue Goff
stated flat out the Department of Defense has no record,
present or historical of any type of SAP called Immaculate Constellation.
The Pentagon has consistently denied running secret programs to retrieve
alien spacecraft. No evidence of such programs as surfaced. Bulbert's

(05:44):
shift to UFO focused campaigning follows some electoral close calls.
In twenty twenty two, she won her second term by
defeating Democrat Adam Frisch by only five hundred and forty
six votes after a mandatory recount. The margin was so
narrow that Colorado required an automatic recount for any race
within zero point five percent. Political watchers were stunned Republicans

(06:07):
held a nine point voter registration advantage in the district.
Rather than risk a rematch with Frish in twenty twenty four,
Bobert moved to Colorado's fourth congressional district, much safer Republican territory.
She beat first time Democratic candidate Tricia Cavalres in November
twenty twenty four, with about fifty three percent of the
votes to Cavalres's forty three percent. Still, that margin was

(06:30):
notably weaker than her predecessor's performance. Former Representative Ken Buck
had won his last two races in that district by
twenty four percentage points. Bobert has occasionally aligned herself with QAnon.
The movement promotes unfounded claims about a supposed secret cabal
of elites engaged in criminal activities, often mixing in theories
about government cover ups and hidden knowledge. Morgan Vaughan, a

(06:53):
Colorado resident living at the Flying Saucer RV resort in Sheridan,
told KADYVR that she backed Bobert's approach, quote, I can
tell that she has a personality also, and she has
an open mind and isn't afraid of reaching for new
truths because there isn't a whole lot of truth going
on right now. If she lived in Bobert's district, this
campaign strategy would win her vote. Andy Boyan acknowledged the

(07:14):
UFO topic would get strong engagement, but questioned whether it
showed appropriate priorities, especially during a government shutdown. The UFO
fundraising email officially launched Bobert's run for a fourth term.
With the November twenty twenty six midterms still more than
a year away. Whether voters in Colorado's fourth congressional district
will respond to campaign promises about alien disclosure remains to

(07:37):
be seen. Bobert's campaign says the approach is working based
on donor response. Bobert views UFO transparency as a matter
of public trust. Her critics, though, see attention seeking with
sensational topics her supporters see someone asking questions others won't touch.
As twenty twenty six approaches, this race probably won't turn

(07:57):
on health care policy or infrastructure. In Colorado's fourth congressional district,
the defining question might be are aliens real? If you'd
